ty Personnel: unknown - trumpet Bill Rank - trombone Frank Trumbauer - c-melody sax Chet Hazlett or Charles Strictfaden - Alto sax Irving Friedman - clarinet, tenor sax Lennie Hayton - piano Snoozer Quinn - guitar Min Leibrook - bass sax George Marsh - drums Bee Palmer - vocal Bill Challis - arranger Paul Whiteman sponsored this session with sidemen of his orchestra with Frank Trumbauer as the director. The orchestra plays an arrangement built on the saxophone solo created by Tram on February 4, 1927; this part is followed by Bee Palmer singing on the same melody as Tram's solo, then scat singing on the solo played by Bix Beiderbecke on the original Okeh recording. Snoozer Quinn, the guitarist, emphasized that Bix was attending this session, but the few cornet (or trumpet) notes played on "Singin' the Blues" make identification impossible.
